GLENN R. MATTES, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
On February 25, 2022, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction, in which he asserts that the petition was not filed within the time prescribed in the Internal Revenue Code.
By Order served March 29, 2023, the Court directed respondent to supplement his motion to address the potential applicability of disaster relief afforded to certain residents of New York on account of Hurricane Ida. On April 13, 2023, respondent filed a Supplement to his motion asserting that petitioner timely filed the petition because petitioner was a taxpayer affected by Hurricane Ida and was granted additional time to file a petition with the Tax Court pursuant to FEMA's Notice of Disaster Declaration (FEMA-4615-DR).
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction, as supplemented, filed February 25, 2022, is denied.
